Editorial Reviews

New Orleans Times-Picayune

New Orleans Then and Now is a must for history buffs and preservationists, who are so often one and the same. If only those who are neither would read it too, they might better appreciate the city's architectural history. This book makes the adage...'one picture is worth a thousand words...' seem like an understatement.
